[PATCH 1/4] cherry-pick: rewrap advice message

From
Jeff King <peff@peff.net>
Date
Feb 11, 2010, 21:06 UTC
Message-ID
<20100211210601.GA9066@coredump.intra.peff.net>
In-Reply-To
<20100211210445.GA8819@coredump.intra.peff.net>

The current message overflows on an 80-character terminal. While we're at it, fix the spelling of 'committing'.
